This view of entitlement contributes to our economic demise. I remember sitting in a judge's chambers having habeas writs from prisoners read. One complained his right to a color tv instead of black and white was a deprivation of civil rights. I can understand the political argument if you argue for something you find helpful to be a right then you can argue others have a duty to give it to you.
And there are matters of public healthy such as quarantines or public health risks which the public has a duty to finance so that the entirety of the population is protected. But the never ending list of entitlements makes one's head spin.
